There’s no denying the extreme ‘90s presence that has crept into every aspect of this summer’s fashion, with brands playing their respective parts to renew some serious denim and normcore throwbacks. Decades ago, the slinky slip dress was made popular by designers like Calvin Klein and Narciso Rodriguez, who famously dressed every big name super model, along with Carolyn Bessette on her wedding day—which is should be the first image that comes up if you Google “slip dress.” Here, we provide endless inspiration for you to style your 2017 versions from the fashion icons who did it best.
